The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Avian Control bird repellent to reduce feeding damage to ripening bushberries (crop subgroup 13-07B), grapes and sweet corn caused by birds in Canada.
This minor use project was submitted by the BC Ministry of Agriculture as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should consult the complete label before using Avian Control bird repellent.
